There's two ways to train fighting, the safe way and the dangerous way:===Fighting===
I recommend using The fighting system in wurm makes use of a term called 'Combat Rating(CR)'.This is value for which each oponents difficulty is based. You gain 2CR per 10 overall fight skill(Pve) and then additional CR depending on wether you have the safe way until around 10 fightingheight advantage, are mounted on an animal, then go off huntingor lose some if not at optimal range to the target or on un-even ground.
===Safe way===
Create a [[practice doll]] and equip a shaft or other weapon.== How to Train your Fighting ==
If you use The most suggested and more practical way for a weapon then you should use one that begginer player to train their for skill is close to 1.00 ql or you will quickly destroy the doll.as follows:
Attack '''Create a [[practice doll]]''' and equip a shaft and right click the practice dolland select 'practice'. This will make you start to attack the doll and periodically increase your overall fighting skill. This is not immensly fast, repairing it whenever its damage gets to and will only work till you reach 20Fighting.
An alternative '''Train your selected weapon skill''', the easiest way to train your weapon skill is to [[Animal husbandry|breed]] cattle simply go out and/or horses and kill them off slowly for chop down alot of tree's with it. This will work until 20 weapon skill gain. You can back off from horses Only bladed weapons apply for this method (as in no mauls, and cattle in order to safely bandage using cotton or ragsthe exception of a short sword), any other weapon must be trained through combat with other creatures.
Don't forget ''Create your equipment''' The easiest and simplest armour type available to bandage make in wurm is the cloth armour. Its light, and provides some protection but not a huge amount. It would be suitable as your prey for first aid set but it would be advisable to move up to Leather Armour or Studded Leather Armour as soon as you can. You can generally imp cloth/leather armour to 20ql with 10 in the related skill!.
You won't gain much If you have followed the above guide, you should now have 20 overall fighting skill that way, but it is good 20 weapon skill, a set of armour (of at least 20ql) and a weapon (of at least 15ql) to gain fighting subskill call your own, and maybe weapon skillthe knowledge of how to maintain them. These skills will allow you to fight upto at least a Bear.
===Dangerous (but a heck of a lot more fun) way===Once you have gone through the above guide, and wish to continue training fighting, then the following section would be advisable.
Go hunting. That's it''The Mount''' A Mount is an animal which is leadable by rope and can be ridden on for increased movement speed, or in this case a boost in Combat Rating. Just go hunting. You first want Using a Mount effectivly gives you an additional 10 Fightin Skill (2CR) and makes fighting alot easier, a good example in this case is that using a Mount would allow you to try hunting down simple farm animals such as pigs, pheasants, roosters, bulls, cows, etc. Even wild cats work at the startkill a Scorpion with a reasonable amount of Health left afterwards.
At around 10 fighting '''Use a Shield''' A Shield in wurm allows you to block incoming attacks from creatures, how often being based upon your Skill in the type of Shield you want have chosen to get some leg protection and hunt down wolvesuse. The wolves aim for easiest way to train the legs shield is to gather a lot, so leg protection number(2-3) of pigs or another weak animal and attack them all at once. This method will save allow you health in the endto reach 20 Shield Skill with general ease, after that its advisable to use a penned Rat.
Pheasants in particular can make '''DO NOT turn your back on the enemy''' In Wurm, there is a penalty to your chance to parry, dodge or avoid an incoming attack from an excellent training enemy as they will not follow you when if you turn your back away , and to a lesser degree from the fightsides. If you are fighting something, giving you time want to have it facing you. Later on when you feel more confident in your fighting abilities you may wish to heal and regain stamina use this penalty against the creatures you face, all things in wurm must obey the penalty so if necessaryyou can make use of it to your benefit, especially if fighting with very low QL weapons for the skill gaindo so.
Try '''Raise your skills efficiently''' There are several skill levels which are important to bring cottonaim for in regards to fighting related skills. As you know, every 10 Fight skill you gain 2 CR, rags or some other form of cloth so a player with 19 fight skill is no different to heal yourself a fighter with10, always go for the rounded number.
==Melee weapons==Other skill levels worth mentioning are:
Melee weapons can be safely trained up to 20 30 and 50 weapon skill: At 30 and 50 weapon skill you will gain 1 second off your attack timer, and an increase in that respective the damage you deal with the weaponin question aswell as the chance to hit.
All melee 40 skill in parryable weapons/shields: Untill you hit 40 skill in a parryable weapon/shield, including [[mauls]] you cannot parry while you move. This makes you vulnerable when moving and [[clubs]], as such you can be used on [[practice doll|practice dolls]]suffer greatly while retreating from a fight. Non parry-able weapons are the Axe line and Sycthe.
Additionally, both [[axes]] and [[swords]] (exception: [[shortsword]]) can be used to safely hack at trees for skill up to 20. Skill beyond 20 requires usage of these weapons in actual [[fighting]].
The usage of weapons on dolls can inflict heavy damage on both doll and weapon. Practice dolls over 50ql are recomended.
Using axes and mauls gives [[body strength]]. Swords give [[body control]].
[[Category:BabelWell, I hope this guide has helped you. Be sure to upgrade your Equipment/F]]Weapons whenever possible, and make 70 fighting your long term goal. Have fun in the wilderness!

'''Make a weapon''', preferably a longsword. This will require access to a forge and the related equipment, but it is advisable to start off with a longsword to defend yourself first, but..you can always use the short start you received at the tutorial if you wish.
Weaponsmithing is not an easy skill, it is advisable to ask if someone can provide you with one. You can generall make a 15ql sword with 10 weaponsmithing.
